>From: Fernando Cort�zar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >THE PP GOVERNMENT CHASE THE COMMUNIST > Central Committee of the >Communist Party of Spain (reconstitued) > >Last 9th November five members of the Central Committee of our Party, >among them our Secretary General, Manuel P�rez Martinez, Arenas, were >arrested in France. In this operation, which was led by the torturers of >the civil guard, two militants of the FOARG were also arrested. > >Hundreds of policemen were mobilized on both sides of the border to >achieve the detention of this handful of prominent communists, some of >whom had been evading repression from the underground and the exile for >more than 15 years in order to continue with their tasks of leadership >of the Party and of the whole Movement of Resistance out of the police >pressure of the fascist regime. > >It is still soon to reach a definite conclusion as regards the ways that >have allowed the bulldogs of the capital to find our comrades; all seems >to indicate that the last movements of some members of the Organization >Commission of the Central Committee aimed at giving a new boost to the >work within our country have provided the Spanish and French police with >the "track" that have led to the arrest of these comrades. > >Anyway, in order to avoid any kind of speculation, we want to emphasize >that the final cause that explains that they have been chased and >finally arrested with such a deployment of forces is the fact that our >Party has become little by little a serious political enemy of the >regime. In the last years our Party has achieved important developments >in its permanent task of education, organization and leadership among >the masses, establishing closer links with the most advanced sectors of >the working class and the worker and fighting youth, becoming in this >way a point of reference for the whole Antifascist Resistance Movement. > >In this sense we can say that the comrades of the Leadership were >developing well the tasks that the Party had entrusted them with, even >risking their own personal security in benefit of their political >activity and of the cause of socialism. On the contrary, the regime of >the monopolies, immersed in a chronic weakness and isolation and with >its 'left wing' sunk in the rottenness and discredit has engaged itself >in a repressive escalation without precedents from Franco's time in a >desperate attempt to stop the development of the people's and worker >movement and of its vanguard organizations. > >Therefore, we have to consider this new blow of the fascists against our >Party as a direct attack against the head of this movement, aimed at >spreading confusion and demoralization within its ranks and to try to >control it. This is not the first time that our Party suffers such >important blows and we have prepared ourselves permanently for this in >order to minimize their effects and make that they have the minimum >repercussion in the development of the Movement and the Party. Following >this line of action there are plans intended to replace the comrades >that have been arrested and to incorporate new militants to posts of >leadership. > >These plans are already being put into practice. At the same time we >have taken the necessary measures of compartmentalization and security >in order to avoid immediate new arrests. There are also general plans of >work that must continue being carried out, adapting them to the new >reality of war against the Party and the Movement of Resistance that has >been declared by the PP government. > >Finally, we count with a whole political experience accumulated that is >synthesised in our Political Line and in the Programme that will >continue leading us in our trajectory of communists and revolutionaries >because, and we must make this clear from the very beginning, no arrest, >no assassination perpetrated by the regime, no pressure or blackmail, >will deviate us from the course drawn up in the IV Congress of the Party >and, in general, from the line of resistance that we have been >practising for more than 25 years. > >We want to point out the responsibility that the French Rate and its >government "of the left" have acquired with the imprisonment of people >for g the mere fact of defending consistently their ideas of freedom and >socialism, becoming in this way direct accomplices of the prosecution of >a communist political organization. > >We have taken note of that and we hope that the example of this new >outrage to the most essential liberties will serve all the true >democrats to realize once more the true fascist character of the >European "democratic" regimes, denouncing them as such and demanding the >immediate end of the prosecution and imprisonment of the communists, >patriots and revolutionaries. > >We call once more upon the people's masses, specially upon the working >class in order not to tolerate this new attack of the torturers of the >regime against the communists and antifascists. We cannot let the >aznarists continue with impunity through the way of all-out terror: they >will and they are already going for everybody and we have to stop them! >It is necessary, then, to unite our forces to increase and continue the >current struggle of resistance against the exploiter and terrorist plans >of the regime. The workers and the most conscious and fighting youths >must continue providing any kind of support to the Party and the >revolutionary armed organizations, redoubling at the same time their >efforts in favour of the release of our militants and all the political >prisoners. > >LET'S ORGANIZE THE PEOPLE IN THE STREETS !!! >FOR EACH OF THE COMMUNISTS IMPRISONED !!! >LET'S STOP TOGETHER THE FASCIST TERROR !!! > >Central Committee of the Communist Party of Spain (reconstitued) > >15th November 2000 _______________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
